I hava a big problem. I installed OSS4 and just get stereo on my spdout0 or pmc0. The osstest just plays also stereo? Also XBMC and VDR just knows stereo. After the PC there is an Denon 2308 reseiver. Can I test the 5.1 Sound?

If you perceive your sound quality as "so good", you may urgently need a medical help (it is not a joke).

http://www.sennheiser.com/sennheiser/ho ... ing_livingReduced hearing capacity – understanding less and less, almost without noticing itPeople are creatures of habit. We can quickly adapt to reductions in our hearing capacity. We barely notice how we keep having to ask people to repeat things, how we increase the volume on the television set, or how we are no longer able to filter out the voice of the person we are talking to when there are many other conversations going on around us. This is because the deterioration of our hearing is a subtle process. Those who recognize this in time and act accordingly have the best chance of counteracting this process and being able to continue hearing.

Did you know? Even a brief, violent sound (such as an exploding firecracker) can cause permanent hearing impairment.

I will try to find the right configuration in ossmix and get a test sound file. I just mean the soundquality between alsa and oss, when the surround sond works i will get time for the production quality, but first the oss should work.

$ man vmixctlCHANGING THE VMIX CHANNEL MAP The vmix subsystem can remap channels, so that all output sent to a channel via vmix will end up being played on a different channel. The syntax uses a list of channels, where typically 0=default, 1=left, 2=right, 3=center, 4=lfe, 5=left surround, 6=right surround, 7=left rear and 8=right rear. Note that vmix-channels should be set first to Multich if vmix is to recognize the extra channels.

and bingo,there is sound on both cards and the reseiver (Denon 2308) which changes the income signal without any problem.

The vdr and xbmc always still have no surround. So I played with the configuration. Nothing happens. Now i update the gentoo system. There is hal and udev installed, so I will try just udev and make a better make.conf on the system (thanks to Peje).

Thank you very much for your held!

When it will work i will look after the good production sound But this will take some time.

PS: I think the ALC 892 Chip is better than the CM8783 Chip (no Pro Logic II sound, just stereo).

Well, you can give some try to find out the Cesium on IRC. Furthermore, you have also the option to find out a very special test audio file which would enable you to get more into solving your issue. By the way, make sure you work it out very well to get the correct configuration in ossimix.

If you do not hear the difference, you can simply ignore any tests. What is the problem?

It is very probable that a new version of OSS4 may have a better resampler. You may ask Cesium for more information.

The git-version of OSS4 plugin for Audacious has "exclusive mode" which allows to "disable redirection to virtual mixer engines and sample rate/format conversions", but it seems to be impossible to disable format conversion in Audacious. It might be a kind of "very advanced" ALSA converter, it is likely to deteriorate sound quality. In any case, it is a lossy conversion, by definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_data_conversion There is also a magic resampler for Audacious viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3834 Although the deaf may not hear the difference, it might be interesting to try.
